Roof Racks For R33 Skyline?

[Syxti9]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to figure out if anyone makes out-of-the-box roof racks for R33 Skylines.

Has anyone put them on their car?

Cheers,

Bart

It's a skyline not a dirty Holden

Surfboard(s)... I was jamming them into the car but they make a mess and the passenger only has half a seat.

autobarn has soft temporary racks for $80

yep exactly, the soft temp racks are the best, both for your car and your surfboard.... well idk tbh, but its best for the car, maybe a nice microfibre cloth under them and a sweet treat for your car afterwards, and a card for birthdays, xmas and easter, and an extra special buff just to say sorry to your line...

maybe you could get another car just to transport your surfboard, just an idea....

Sigh... The thought of Roof racks or Towbars on Skylines, makes Jesus cry.

i actually have a set of racks for my skyline its a kit designed by Thule and goes for about $600 and it think its a universal kit with extending arms cos the window frame is so little to support carrying weights. its the same kit designed to be used on s14's so if they ask what car its for you can tell them will fit to s14's (as you can get them adm so should show up on their systems)

the thule ones are great, i see them on alot of stageas.

I don't see what is such a big deal about roof racks on a Skyline. Would be very handy for track / drift days

Skylines are sports cars . . . . thats why roof racks ARENT cool on them, unless you have somewhere to wash the salt water off the boards then consider what the salt water will do to your car (any car at that)

[Socrates]

skylines arent sports cars, with respect to steven.

Z's are the sports cars.

skylines are family cars, with one sport oriented model the GT-R.

The coupes are just 2 door versions of the sedans.

I don't know where silvias stand.

i remember mad082? saying this before.

Found this searching for something else, relevant.

While I will agree to this to a point, if I see a Skyline (or any car) at the track on full opposite lock and a massvie rooster tail of tyre smoke linking corners like a boss I probably wouldn't be saying "yeah, but the roof racks ruin it for me"

Skyline is a Grand Tourer, hence the GT. Z's were always a Nissan sports car and now are Nissans luxury sports car, Skylines were carried over from Prince when the 2 companies merged. Silvias are also sports cars albeit a smaller cheaper sports car.
